Cheese Blintz

Crepes are a go to in this house for a fun and easy dessert. One I haven't gotten tired of by any means, but trying something new with them is also welcome. I got lucky and there was an eastern European market near me for the farmers cheese but if that isn't an option it tasted quit similar to cottage cheese, just drier. I would use cottage and drain it. Quark and mascarpone are also delicious options.

12 crepesButter to fryFruit Sauce21 oz. farmers cheese15 oz. ricotta1/2 c. sugar1 tsp. vanilla extractzest of 1 lemonIn a food processor combine the cheeses, sugar, extract, and lemon until smooth. Heat the butter in a skillet. Add a 12th of the cheese mixture to the top of one crepe. Fold the sides in and then roll like a burrito. Fry in the butter until golden and then flip over and fry the other side. Serve warm topped with a fruit sauce of your choosing.

As a self proclaimed food nerd I've put quite a bit of effort in to my study of other cultures cuisines. What stared as simple curiosity led to an in depth search to learn more. I've been lucky enough to traveled some in my life, across the US and some stops in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

This endeavor was formalized with this blog but it started quite a long time before that. I wanted a portfolio to chronical what I was learning. I wanted to have something to show. That's the trouble with food as a hobby, you eat your creations.
